In the tradition of High Heeled Blues and Mama's Blues (two of her most popular albums), Rory Block returns with a well-nigh definitive collection of hand-picked country blues classics. Long recognized as the finest female acoustic blues guitarist performing today, Rory presents here the purest expression of a genre she has made her own. Not only is she without peer as a guitarist, but her affecting and soulful vocals update the classic blues tradition of female singers going back to Memphis Minnie, Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith.
